Haters gonna hate. This is what the LGBTQ community has to put up with on a constant basis. In the comment section of this online article by the local newspaper, the Visalia-Times Delta, a thinly veiled threat.
Here’s the Facebook page of the hater. This is his profile cover image.
Threats of violence from a follower of the alleged “Prince of Peace”. Religion is more often than not a vehicle for personal prejudice and violence.
Update: I thought the name sounded familiar. This jerk is a well known hater from Porterville. Surprise surprise.

I am glad you posted this. ‘Haters gonna hate’ is very fine, but I also believe that we should address this kind of situations by publicly denouncing these people, and depending on the character of the threats, even reporting them to the police. Nowadays police normally have departments specialised im online crimes.

If the threat were any more specific, I would not hesitate to file a report. The comments Martin made are vague enough to be non-actionable, however.

Agreed! But some people face actual threats and believe that there’s nothing they can do… that’s why I added the input! 😉
